I did the same I think. I downloaded the latest apache and mod_perl. I did a make and make install on apache and then the
same for mod_perl. I told mod_perl where my source was for apache. (It asks if it should build httpd in apache/src for which
I said YES. Do I have to copy *that* httpd to the location where the apache make install put it or does it do that for you?)
After that, I install the Apache::Roaming module (I do the same thing, make and then make install - the README doesnt say what
to do with the module). Then, I edit httpd.conf as the readme says... I enter this text, with the approporiate paths:
PerlModule Apache::Roaming
<Location /roaming>
PerlHandler Apache::Roaming->handler
PerlTypeHandler Apache::Roaming->handler_type
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Roaming User"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/.htusers
require valid-user
PerlSetVar BaseDir /usr/local/apache/htdocs/roaming
</Location>
But when I fire up apache, I get the following error:
Syntax error on line 863 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlTypeHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Which is wierd, since its hanging up on the 'PerlTypeHandler' line and not the previous 2. Since its OK with the line
'PerlModule Apache::Roaming', I assume mod_perl is installed and it finds the module.
